St . Bernadette Soubirous
St. of the Day for April 16th (January 7, 1844 - April 16, 1879)
Bernadette Soubirous was born in 1844, the first child of an extremely poor miller in the town of Lourdes in southern France. The family was living in the basement of a dilapidated building when on February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette, then 14, in a cave above the banks of the Gave River near Lourdes. There were 18 appearances in all, the final one occurring on the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, July 16. Although Bernadette’s initial reports provoked skepticism, her daily visions of “the Lady” brought great crowds of the curious. The Lady, Bernadette explained, had instructed her to have a chapel built on the spot of the visions. There, the people were to come to wash in and drink of the water of the spring that had welled up from the very spot where Bernadette had been instructed to dig. Few visions have ever undergone the scrutiny that these appearances of the Immaculate Virgin were subject to. Lourdes became one of the most popular Marian shrines in the world, attracting millions of visitors. After thorough investigation, Church authorities confirmed the authenticity of the apparitions in 1862. Bernadette was hounded by the public as well as by civic officials until at last she found protection in a convent. Five years later, she petitioned to enter the Sisters of Notre Dame of Nevers. But within four months of her arrival she was given the last rites of the Church and allowed to profess her vows. She died on April 16, 1879, at the age of 35. Bernadette Soubirous was canonized in 1933. Reflection: Millions of people have come to the spring Bernadette uncovered for healing of body and spirit, but she found no relief from ill health there. Bernadette moved through life, guided only by blind faith in things she did not understand—as we all must do from time to time. (franciscanmedia.org)

“Lent is like a long ‘retreat’ during which we can turn back into ourselves and listen to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a period of spiritual ‘combat’ which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with pride and presumption, buy using the arms of faith; prayer, listening to the word of God and, penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our baptism.” - Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
